Unless Commie shows some mercy on me (or even a proper understanding of the 3/4 handicap rule in stableford competitions!) then it's unlikely that life will be imitating Tango's art where I am concerned....

As I say - that's the whole point!

Players who are off 18+ tend to shoot 90+ because they throw in a couple of 8s, which they are not punished for in the Stableford format, thus weighting it in their favour, unless everyone plays off 3/4.

Your progressive taxation of handicaps is criminally unfair - now come on, you do not need a shot a hole in a stableford competition!

I've been practising, be very afraid. (Mind you, that could equally apply to those on adjoining fairways). :mrgreen:

Just to clarify Commie: Do I get 28 actual shots, or three-quarters of it? It's just to work out how many birdies, eagles and albatrosses I need. :wink:

Barring disasters I'll be there! My club handicap is 23.3. To save me reading the thread can someone kindly put up what time we're teeing off and what the format will be. I only live half a mile from Regents Park so I'll be last minute!

Thanks for asking.

Now who's running the book?

it's stableford - roughly 3/4s of handicap - you're therefore on 18 for the event (i've given you 1 extra as you've not played for a while)

We;ll be teeing off about 11ish - (TBC as we can only book 1 week in advance)

Or 2/5, depending on the organiser's caprice.

18,(shot a hole)'s very fair, but not three-quarters of 28. Just a bit confused is all.

18's closer to 3/4 of 23, though, which is his handicap ;)

Excellent, thank you. And for the shot! :D It'll make the scoring easier on SI 18. Not sure which is SI 18 on The Muni anymore but I'll be keeping a close watch for it a week Sunday.

Are we drawing out for partners so we can have a doubles comp on the day as well, just for a little fun?
